Question 786072
Two angles are complementary. The measure of one angle is three times the measure of the other. Find the measure of the larger angle.
--------
Equations:
x + y = 90
x = 3y
--------
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y":
3y+y= 90
4y = 90
y = 22.5 degrees
------
Solve for "x":
x + 22.5 = 67.5 degrees
